I don't know about in the wild ,but I have had my pheasants for about 6 years and every year my male has sat a nest at one time or another. I don't know if he gives the female a break, or if its just a younger female that might not have the nesting trait. the older females themselves do all the sitting

∙ 14y agoOk!! It very strange but our one and only mature male turkey is now sitting on the duck and chicken eggs. What's really funny is that they no longer lay around the yard only next to Jake. He pulls the eggs under him and only gets up for food or water, this is the only time we can retrieve eggs for ourselves. Oh the dogs are afraid of Jake he will attack them.
